Why does this matter?
- Tobacco use is a leading cause of disease and death in WI and the United States.
- Roughly 1 in 4 adult Salvation Army participants use tobacco products.
- More than 70% of people who smoke want to quit tobacco, but only about 6% use medication and receive brief counseling to help them quit.
- Connecting Salvation Army participants with effective tobacco cessation treatment can help them quit or reduce tobacco use and improve their health, mental health, substance use recovery, and finances.
